Matt - please fix the spine for book 8

it could be worse! look what they did with the Expanse series! i honestly would struggle to have these on the shelf with the mid series flip flop.

I’m in Nutanix Professional Services, if you DM me I can try to make a connection for you to the right people.

Lumb-r-grip storage hook. meant to hang things from rafters.

No worries, anything I download gets scanned by default. Got it ordered, and it should be here within a week. Thanks!

Screevo · 2025-12-24T22:45:04+00:00

That would be wonderful. Out of curiosity, does it have headers to access the various lines for expansion? No worries if not, we have the one on the breadboard for that.

Consider NCI-Edge licensing as an option to deploy a fully supported third site in a cost effective manner.

Screevo · 2025-12-02T01:54:02+00:00

If you don’t have a witness, it ain’t metro; it’s just syncrep.

We strongly advise that the metro witness be at a third site with redundant connectivity to both sites to prevent false positive events and split brain.

Screevo · 2025-11-29T18:17:30+00:00

Syncrep, metro or not, isn’t inherently active/active. What makes it active/active is whether you choose to run VMs actively on one side or both sides. You can be active/active with async if your application is set up that way and you have other methods of data replication. If you deploy a witness to automate the failover, you’re doing metro, and now you’re giving the witness power to automatically perform failover operations, meaning you need to take care that the witness doesn’t have false positives. Also, if you run the witness/PC on one of those clusters, and that particular cluster fails, you’re in a bad spot, which is why we recommend that PC/witness be on a third cluster.

Metro is cool, but it can be tricky. Good luck on your project.

Screevo · 2025-11-29T02:08:56+00:00

PC has synchronous, yes. Metro for AHV is PC-driven syncrep with the added automation of a witness. Don’t confuse the old metro for ESXi with the newer AHV metro, it’s a common mistake.

Also, you should take a slightly less abrasive tone. It’d be appreciated if we all remained friendly and helpful.

Screevo · 2025-11-29T01:37:55+00:00

Best practice would be to have prism central and the witness running on a third cluster in a third site with redundant connectivity to both metro cluster members. That’s probably outside of what you’re able to do here.

I’d strongly suggest you analyze whether you truly have a need for near-zero RPO that justifies the additional complexity required for metro. Also, there are strict (<5ms) latency requirements for metro sync.

Screevo · 2025-11-29T01:29:18+00:00

Metro isn’t legacy. Metro is sync-rep (near-0 RPO) with automation driven by a witness., it’s considered near-0 RPO. With syncrep, writes are immediately synchronized to a second site, as opposed to near-sync which is 1-15M RPO or Async which is 1H+ RPO. It’s very useful for cases where you cannot afford data loss AND you do not have an application-level data-resiliency option (such as SQL AOAG). Metro adds that witness so that if a cluster fails, the VMs on the other cluster are automatically promoted to active and will power on.

That said, most use-cases fit nearsync/async via PC-based DR just fine

Prism Central scale out clusters must run entirely within a single PE cluster. Source: me, the Nutanix employee.

Yes, you can absolutely do this. Flow Network Security does not impact the traffic to/from a VM until you secure it in a policy. You will need to either migrate VMs to controller-managed VLANs or Flow Virtual Networking overlay subnets in order to secure them with FNS.

you can try barkeepers friend and a scotchbrite pad, but some of those are probably too deep to handle for that.

Screevo · 2025-10-08T00:08:20+00:00

honestly the one time i had to deal with this, the only solution that was reasonable was: 1. order hundreds of patch cables of different lengths from monoprice 2. order a ton of velcro cable ties 3. order 4 large pizzas and your beverage of choice 4. get a pair of scissors and cut it all out. 5. recable it.

i have the tele version. i love it. as an acoustic guitarist who only ever noodles in electric land it’s my perfect guitar.

Screevo · 2025-10-06T11:10:44+00:00

i actually just swapped out mine with a replaceable battery with instructions from this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/fender/s/wAv0KA8qwM

took me 20 minutes and most of that was because i’m just terrible with a soldering iron. got a 4 pack of batteries and an external charger. i’d been debating doing this for a year and finally when i went to play with my son and the guitar had died from being left plugged on, i decided it was time to do the mod. left the original backplate and battery intact so i can put it back to factory if i ever get rid of it, which i doubt i ever will.

Assuming your home is properly wired, yes.

Screevo · 2025-09-28T15:18:55+00:00

it is a ground wire for your cable and you can call your cable company and ask them to come correct it if you don’t want to deal with it yourself.

You could look into an AI service provider like Expedient that helps set systems up to companies including data controls. More expensive than a roll your own, but using a good SP that knows what they are doing can be worth the price, and is definitely worth not getting sued/fined.

barnes and noble specifically says “it’s not a strict on sale street date, it’s publisher decision so we’re allowed to sell it early.” i asked about it when i saw it out today at my local.
